ILENE SPECTOR
At Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of
the trees, people eat fruit and
nuts saved from Sukkot, the har-
vest season. These fruits also are
often used for Purim pastries as
well as haroset at Passover.
Trees and crops are judged and
blessed for a "fruitful" year. Some
synagogues offer small packages
of dried fruits and nuts for chil-
dren as a reminder of how close-
ly related our lives are to the
abundant foods that grow around
us.
You may notice kosher super-
markets carrying some unusu-
al items in the produce section
for this holiday. Besides dates,
figs and raisins, buxsar, also
known as St. Johns bread, usu-
ally can be found unadorned in a
crate among the less perishable
produce.
Buxsar is dark, dried and
bark-like in appearance. It is
rather hard and has, shall we
say, an interesting aroma. It can
be eaten raw, but some people
prefer to soften it in boiling wa-
ter. I could not find any recipes
using this fruit; however, I've
been told that carob is made from
it.
This is a good time to try some
new fruits such as star fruit or
persimmon. With so many
bizarre weather patterns across
the world, crops can use all the
help they can get, especially
prayers for a fresh, healthy New
Year.
